Seeing as the trip is now tomorrow, it looks like this is now the current itinerary:
Meet
The Knights Templar (JD Wetherspoon)
Then to
Barley Mow at 12.40
Then
Bridge Inn - quick half (arr 13.10ish)
Then back central to
Seven Stars for the 'second gathering' at 1.30-2
down Queen Charlotte St, a set of three
The Beer Emporium
Small Bar
The Famous Royal Navy Volunteer
Done by 3.30 latest. Then a bit of a stroll (10 mins) up King St, over the water past College Green to
The Three Tuns
From here (4.15ish) we can either push on down the Hotwells Rd to
The Bag o' Nails
and the beer boat of Grain Barge
or I can lead an advance party to the Grain Barge rather than doing the Three Tuns. I've been both plenty of times so I don't care
From here (or Three Tuns!), back into town - main hit would be The Bank Tavern but perhaps this is now too much given timings and the fact it's a bit of a stomp in the dark.
And finishing at
The Cornubia
Kings Head
and/or another at the Seven Stars - this is (IMO) the best ale pub on the crawl that I've done previously
For a fairly simple exit to Temple Meads which has Bonapartes on the Platform by the entrance if you want one last half!

Ok, just to be awkward again! The weather forecast is actually looking decent for tomorrow afternoon, possibly even sunny. So it could be worth doing the Grain Barge, but we'd want to do it in daylight really.
There is the potential to get the ferry from the centre and 3:40 to near the Grain Barge (£2 per person).
Also I think we ought to try to set a time that we are all likely to be at the Cornubia as I can see us ending up in several groups and it'd be nice to get back together before the first people need to be getting trains.
Sorry for lack of useful input, very busy this week! Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
With these last minutes changes ,do I gather that the route is now
Knights Templar
Barley Mow
Bridge Inn
Seven Stars
Beer Emporium
Famous RN Volunteer
Small Bar
15.40 ferry to
Grain Barge
Bag o' Nails
Three Tuns
Cornubia
Kings Head
To answer Dave's question I need to be on the 19.41 train ,so would ideally like to be in the Cornubia by 6pm to do the last two comfortably.However I suspect others may have to depart earlier ,is there any consensus ?

Earlybirds beware it looks like rain til 13:00, before receding to 30/20/10% chance of precipitation as the day progresses.Originally Posted by Dave M
I'm feeling under the weather and prospective attendance has reverted to 50%, but hopefullly see y'all at B.Mow (tm scheduled for 12:15 arrival at... TM, ha!).
Looks like there may be a cut-through from inside the station to Friary, saving the walk out and around.
Is that right..?
Indeed there is. As you come off the platform through the turnstyles, keep straight on with the ticket office on your right and the main entrance on your left. Out the side door, through the car park, past a couple of shops and you're at the Wetherspoons.
I've a coat and will go with wherever we decide to go, after all I've done them all before like others.
To correct Quinno's slight error the set of 3 are on King Street so timings could vary by 2 minutes.
Father_Jack reports from his sofa that the water stopped falling in Bristol about 0700 and MR BLUE SKY is playing on www.zenithclassicrock.com.
